1 Gastroenterology Certification Examination Blueprint Purpose of the exam The exam is designed to evaluate the knowledge, diagnostic reasoning, and clinical judgment skills expected of the certified gastroenterologist in the broad domain of the discipline. The ability to make appropriate diagnostic and management decisions that have important consequences for patients will be assessed. The exam may require recognition of common as well as rare clinical problems for which patients may consult a certified gastroenterologist. Exam content Exam content is determined by a pre-established blueprint, or table of specifications. The blueprint is developed by ABIM and is reviewed annually and updated as needed for currency. Trainees, training program directors, and certified practitioners in the discipline are surveyed periodically to provide feedback and inform the blueprinting process. The primary medical content categories of the blueprint are shown below, with the percentage assigned to each for a typical exam: Medical Content Category % of Exam Esophagus 11% Stomach and Duodenum 15% Liver 25% Biliary Tract 10% Pancreas 11% Small Intestine 10% Colon 18% 100% Exam questions in the content areas below may also address topics in endoscopy, genetic conditions, medication management and risks, nutritional support, and quality benchmarking.

2 Exam format The exam is composed of multiple-choice questions with a single best answer, predominantly describing patient scenarios. Questions ask about the work done (that is, tasks performed) by physicians in the course of practice: Making a diagnosis Ordering and interpreting results of tests Recommending treatment or other patient care Assessing risk, determining prognosis, and applying principles from epidemiologic studies Understanding the underlying pathophysiology of disease and basic science knowledge applicable to patient care Clinical information presented may include patient photographs, imaging studies, electrocardiograms, endoscopic video, and other media to illustrate relevant patient findings. A tutorial including examples of ABIM exam question format can be found at The blueprint can be expanded for additional detail as shown below. Each of the medical content categories is listed there, and below each major category are the content subsections and specific topics that may appear in the exam. Please note: actual exam content may vary.
